About

Driven by a deep passion for gerontology and improving the quality of life for older adults, my career has been devoted to social work, research, and advocacy in the field of aging. Over the years, I have contributed to initiatives aimed at strengthening elderly care systems and promoting social welfare. I am currently pursuing an MSc in Gerontology through distance mode as a Commonwealth Scholar, expanding my expertise to advance evidence-based policies and programs for senior citizens. “A true human being is not the one who does what he wants to do, rather the one who does what needs to be done in the world.”
